There's a resurgence going on in West Texas this year, especially in the district known as "The Little Southwest Conference".

Odessa Permian is undefeated and a state title contender. Meanwhile, rival Abilene is right there with them at 7-0 and a classic match-up for District 3-5A supremacy will be waged this Friday between the two of the state's storied programs.

While both schools have their share of offensive stars, the biggest impact player will be Abilene linebacker Chris Williams.
